It would also empower the agency to investigate individuals suspected of involvement in drug-related activities.
The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (Amendment) Bill proposes changes to the bureau’s establishment law of 2022, repositioning it as an independent, multimodal safety investigation authority.

The amendment would also transfer supervisory oversight of the bureau to the Presidency and strengthen its institutional, operational and administrative powers.
Meanwhile, the National School of Government Bill seeks to repeal the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria Act and establish the National School of Government, Nigeria, as a centre for leadership development, policy implementation and executive capacity building.
